Safety instructions
When using Power Tools, always observe the
safety regulations applicable in your country to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury. Read the following safety
instructions before attempting to operate this
product. Keep these instructions in a safe place!
General
1 Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.
2 Consider work area environment
Do not expose Power Tools to humidity.
Keep work area well lit. Do not use Power Tools
in the presence of inflammable liquids or gases.
3 Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces
(e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators).
For use under extreme conditions (e.g. high
humidity, when metal swarf is being produced,
etc.) electric safety can be improved by inserting
an isolating transformer or a (FI) earth-leakage
circuit-breaker.
4 Keep children away
Do not let children come into contact with the
tool or extension cord. Supervision is required for
those under 16 years of age.
5 Extension cords for outdoor use
When the tool is used outdoors, always use
extension cords intended for outdoor use and
marked accordingly.
6 Store idle tools
When not in use, Power Tools must be stored in
a dry place and locked up securely, out of reach
of children.
7 Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
They can be caught in moving parts.
Preferably wear rubber gloves and non-slip
footwear when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to keep long hair out of the way.
8 Wear safety goggles
Also use a face or dust mask in case the
operations produce dust or flying particles.
9 Beware of maximum sound pressure
Take appropriate measures for the protection
of hearing if the sound pressure of 85 dB(A) is
exceeded.
10 Secure workpiece
Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is
safer and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
11 Do not overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
12 Avoid unintentional starting
Do not carry the plugged-in tool with a finger on
the switch. Be sure that the switch is released
when plugging in.
13 Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate the tool when you are tired.
14 Disconnect tool
Shut off power and wait for the tool to come to a
complete standstill before leaving it unattended.
Unplug the tool when not in use, before servicing
or changing accessories.
15 Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Always check that adjusting keys and wrenches are
removed from the tool before operating the tool.
16 Use appropriate tool
The intended use is laid down in this instruction
manual. Do not force small tools or attachments
to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. The tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was intended.
Warning! The use of any accessory or attachment
or performance of any operation with this tool,
other than those recommended in this instruction
manual may present a risk of personal injury.
17 Do not abuse cord
Never carry the tool by its cord or pull it to
disconnect from the socket. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges.
18 Maintain tools with care
Keep the tools in good condition and clean for
better and safer performance. Follow the
instructions for maintenance and changing
accessories. Inspect the tool cords at regular
15 en - 3
ENGLISH
intervals and, if damaged, have them repaired
by an Elu authorized repair agent. Inspect the
extension cords periodically and replace them if
damaged. Keep all controls dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
19 Check for damaged parts
Before using the tool, carefully check it for
damage to ensure that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for
misalignment and seizure of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. Have damaged guards
or other defective parts repaired or replaced as
instructed. Do not use the tool if the switch is
defective. Have the switch replaced by an Elu
authorized repair agent.
20 Have your tool repaired by an Elu authorized
repair agent
This Power Tool is in accordance with the
relevant safety regulations. To avoid danger,
electric appliances must only be repaired by
qualified technicians.
Sanding paint
Observe the applicable regulations for sanding paint.
Pay special attention to the following:
1 Whenever possible, use a vacuum extractor for
dust collection.
2 Take special care when sanding paint which is
possibly lead based:
Do not let children or pregnant women enter
the work area.
All persons entering the work area should wear
a mask specially designed for protection
against lead paint dust and fumes.
Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
3 Dispose of dust particles and any other removal
debris safely.

Electrical safety
The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Your Elu tool is double insulated in
accordance with EN 50144;
therefore no earth wire is required.
Mains plug replacement
(U.K. & Ireland only)
Should your mains plug need replacing and you
are competent to do this, proceed as instructed
below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorized
Elu repair agent or a qualified electrician.
Disconnect the plug from the supply.
Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely;
a plug with bared copper conductors is
dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs
fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).
The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked
at the connection points of most good quality
plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points
in the plug (see below). Brown is for Live (L) (2)
and Blue is for Neutral (N) (4).
Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug
ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the
outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the two
leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.
Never use a light socket.
Never connect the live (L) or neutral (N)
wires to the earth pin marked E or .
For 115 V units with a power rating exceeding 1500 W,
we recommend to fit a plug to BS4343 standard.
Using an extension cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved
extension cable suitable for the power input of this
tool (see technical data). The minimum conductor size
is 1.5 mm
2
. When using a cable reel, always unwind
the cable completely. Also refer to the table below.
